hey hey it's ramadhan

wow it's ramadhan already and i'm up just finishing off my noodles for sahur.
hey hey welcome to the fasting month :) mohon maaf lahir batin everyone. may this be the month where we become a better being and increase our ibadah and learn the true essence of ramadhan .

this year is a lil different compared to other years of ramadhan for me. actually not a lil different - but a HUGE different. i'm fasting alooone people! tsk tsk poor me :( i was hoping at least to spend the first 3 days at home sweet home, but i got uni orientation on the 25th so my mama insisted that i should just stay in bandung rather than going back and forth jakarta-bandung. geee, the first ramadhan ever without my family. to be honest i feel sorry for myself and obviously sad! cooking my own food for sahur, eating alone, cos it's too cold to go knock on my friends' doors and eat together, just cbf. brrr freezing assss atm. and breaking my fast without mama's cooking and papa and of course my lil brat (eventhough they call me once every 3-4 hours just to check up how i'm doing, still..)
:( but well, as my parents said, welcome to your new independent life. you chose this path, now this is the first step and you gotta be ready to face the many obstacles coming ahead *sigh* but yes, i gotta face it no matter what.
now, just 3 words.

i miss home.

poof! back to the other big deal.
these past days have been filled with pre-orientation and everything else that has to do with starting off uni. the english departement held a welcoming event called pre-gates on the 20th. it was a good event i must say. met loads of new friends from other parts of indonesia. some quiet, unique, funny, some shy shy cat haha others very loud haha! the whole thing was entertaining, memorable and fun - except for the extremely long intermezzo. the what-you-call-here seniors were godamn extremeley nice people too :)
and it went almost the same today, another gathering but this was the whole faculty of arts/letters. we were divide into groups and given tasks to do for orientation day.
exhausted!

it's been 3 days since i started living alone and i'm starting to getting used to it. but i havn't actually adapted with the cold weather. *flashback* it feels like australia in winter where i used to wear like 6-7 layers of clothes, double socks, beanie and a scarf haha
i'm kinda proud of myself in a way. like taking my own responsibility now. doing everything under my own awareness, aaand being able to wake up in the morning (this is such a great improvement haha)

wait, i'll brb, i need the freezer (read: toilet)

ok, i'm back!
and it's freezing! everything about the toilet is freezing. the door handle, the water, the tiles, the toilet seat, absolutely the whole thing!

meh 4.30am? whaaat? so quick! adzan subuh now. gotta pray and get back to warmthness (read: bed, three pillows and tiger blanket)

headin to citra's at 9 with danti, going to gedebage to look for some goodies :) (hope i wake up on time)


hello saturday & good morning world!
i'm off to pray and i'm off to bed :)
